Installing WordPress in cPanel in under 5 minutes

4 min read

Use the one-click installer to get a secure WordPress site running fast.

Every shared hosting plan includes a one-click WordPress installer. Log in to cPanel from your client area and open the Softaculous Apps Installer.

Select WordPress, choose the domain to install to, and leave the directory field blank so WordPress installs at the root of your site.

Set a strong administrator username and password — avoid 'admin' — and enter a valid email address so you receive security notifications.

After installation, enable automatic updates, install a caching plugin, and confirm your free SSL certificate is active so the site loads over HTTPS.
